“It’s a very peaceful house and a classic residence,” Mr Simeon said.

The six-bedroom home comes complete with stunning water views, an in ground, self-cleaning pool, wine cellar and a boatshed with slipway and motorised winch.

The sale comes off the back of 16 Iluka Rd, Mosman which the agency recently sold for $10 million, a top sale for the lower north shore this year.

Mr Simeon said the top end of the market has been performing well with increased confidence from both buyers and sellers and a strong surge of international buyers.

“We’ve got sustained momentum at the top end with contracts exchanging much quicker,” he said.

“I believe the top end has kicked at least 10 to 15 per cent over the past six months.”

Ex-pats returning home and new residents to Sydney have been making up 50 per cent of the buyers in the market he believes.
